@Ctzn_Journalist@ABDanielleSmith Are you sure? Oil and gas royalties funded 1.03 billion in transfer payments in 2025 plus a huge part of Alberta’s provincial budget.
Compare Alberta vs MB and see the difference in infrastructure, public facilities, etc and MB has 7% PST too.
@hope56506@business But you have enough power to support data centres for AI……. lol. Facebook and others are looking at nuclear power because they require so much power.
@85Draper@ImmortanZit@MarkJCarney@CornwallHeath They didn’t need cattle. There were millions of buffalo/bison until whitey screwed that up just for their hides and only ate the tongues if they felt like it. Can you imagine leaving a huge bison to rot, never mind millions of them? A moose will feed a family for a year. Bison++
@gmartin101@jasminlaine Quebec’s transfer payment for 2025-26 is forecasted at $29.3 billion. Every province east of Saskatchewan (MB-Nfld) gets transfer payments with Quebec getting 52.7% of them. Where do you think that money comes from, salmon fishing in BC? Sask, AB, and NE BC all have oil & gas.
@gmartin101@Eyliria@jasminlaine But the train does anyway. A pipeline moves more oil with lower risks….. Quebec loves their oil…..electric vehicles aren’t talkng over in Montreal never mind the rest of Que.
@gmartin101@jasminlaine Would you instead put a train with tanker cars filled with oil? We saw how much risky that can be. The oil is being shipped regardless. Do it the safest way possible.
@AdamByblow Agreed. BC, Sask, etc will love to charge you to get access to the world markets for your oil and gas. Being landlocked really limits your options
@KarynBHeart@truckdriverpleb Alberta buys good oil from the US too because you’re too lazy to figure out how to refine bitumen into something usable at an affordable price. Not much use for bunker fuel in Alberta.
Please do some research on Enbridge’s Hardisty mainline. It goes to Sarnia & Montreal.
@MikeKnightmare@MrsC6911@thesovereignceo Only because there were so many conservative supporters that they split into 2 parties, big C and little c, and split the vote. 🤦🤦🤦Poor strategy vs true representation.
@sarahcstock Agreed….. I’d like a large double double please….. Unfortunately “your” Canadians roll their eyes when they are offered jobs at such places…
@fredhickey You’re correct healthcare is under provincial jurisdiction but the $$$ come from Justin. It takes a min of 8 years to become a doctor. When JT’s immigration floods Ontario with new residents on short notice how can healthcare possibly keep up? I’m pro responsible immigration!
@MLTspecialties@PaulStewartII Universal healthcare but he doesn’t have a doctor. Hardly rare in this country. Add in GST, gas tax, carbon tax, booze tax, etc and 40% is a realistic number without making a 100k. Wages haven’t kept up with inflation =lower standard of living.
@theJagmeetSingh Glad you are supporting the rest of your Unionized supporters. Toyota in Cambridge has unionized staff & no trains will me no work as trains are needed toNearly every Automotive plant is affected by a lockout or strike.
There are 7200 unionized longshoremen in BC alone affected
